Evidence Based Approaches for Family Caregivers and Integrative Home Care

As chronic illnesses and aging populations increase worldwide, families are taking on greater responsibilities in providing long-term, home-based care. Yet, many caregivers lack access to reliable, research-backed information on how to safely incorporate complementary therapies into daily routines. Equipping caregivers with evidence-based integrative care practices can improve both patient outcomes and caregiver well-being, reducing stress while enhancing quality of life. Promoting scientifically grounded home care empowers families to make informed health decisions and bridges the gap between professional healthcare and everyday caregiving. Evidence-Based Approaches for Family Caregivers and Integrative Home Care explores evidence-based integrative modalities backed by randomized controlled trials and clinical studies, clearly outlining indications, contraindications, and practical implementation for home settings. It discusses how these approaches can support the physical and emotional well-being of loved ones. Covering topics such as aromatherapy, nursing intervention, and sleep monitoring systems, this book is an excellent resource for caregivers, healthcare professionals in home care or palliative care, policymakers, and more.
